- The Hengduan Mountains Region is a key area for studying species evolution and biodiversity due to its unique environmental changes and challenges.
- The study focused on a vulnerable amphibian species, analyzing how paleogeological events and climate changes influenced its genetic diversity and intraspecific differentiation.
- Findings revealed multiple refugia maintained the species during past climatic shifts, and recommendations for conservation strategies were developed based on identified genetic structures and dispersal patterns.
A new species of the genus Microhyla is described from Jamun Khadi, Jhapa district of eastern Nepal, based on molecular and morphological comparisons. This species is the sister taxon of Microhyla ornata and can be distinguished by a unique vocalization, morphology and molecular phylogeny. The uncorrected genetic divergences based on rRNA gene between the new species and its closest congeners, M.
